\\\\\\\\\broken toe?

[longdog13 36]

Hi all,

I took my bull thing out for a walk today, all seemed fine.

After a few hours at home, he curled up on his bed and let out a yelp.

I went and gave him a once over and found the problem was his dew claw bone on his front right foot, the claw itself if fine, not torn, but the connecting bone is causing him pain. I'm presuming it's broken as there is no external marks and usually he's tough as the proverbial old boot.

Anyone else experienced this? and what action did the vet take if any? ie, did they leave it/ strap it to set itself?

 

Thanks in advance guys

Better getting it cut off,will only catch on everything now.

get the vet to cut them both off at the same time as its the same cost for two as it is for one its no good straping it up as it will keep 0n doing it and you will spens more time with the dog laid up then working.

Best of luck

i'ts the bone not the nail mate, it looks perfectly normal, it is the bone that joins it to the leg that feels bust.

he's 14 mnths old now, is a vet likely to lop off the unaffected toe?

yes mate the vet will take both dew claws off at the same time it a very small opp with only about 4 stiches in each leg but as i said you are better of not having any
